"The plan put forward by the administration of President Andrés Manuel
López Obrador, often referred to by his initials as AMLO, calls for
decriminalizing illegal drugs and transferring funding for combating the
illicit substances to pay for treatment programs instead. It points to
the failure of the decades-long international war on drugs, and calls
for negotiating with the international community, and specifically the
U.S., to ensure the new strategy’s success."
